the conditioning of air, thread.

whatever happened to being able to make a thread with a POLL?

anyway, being that its getting hotter i am curious who here has air conditioning in their modified car (non stock motor), in particular an SR car. this thread should include photos and discussion of putting AC in our SR cars, with and/or without the japanese climate control module.

mods: if you can add 2 poll choices, for shits and giggles:
- I have an SR w/ AC
- I have an SR w/o AC

thanks

I have an AC in my KA and I don't know where I would be without it. I drove my friend's SR and he didn't (probably still doesn't) have an AC last summer in SoCal, never again will I try that.

AC is one of those must haves in SoCal. I don't know how some people do it.

I don't have any pics of a SR with an AC, sorry.

I had A/C in mine when I first did the swap, Used the whole KA system bolting it to the SR bracket (used 3 out of 4 bolts)


Had the Expansion valve stick open not allowing it to cool, Thought freon was low along with a bad A/C pressure gauge, over charged the system popping the relief valve on the compressor. some A/C shop wanted like $500 to repair it, said fuck it and pulled it out.

Probably gonna put everything back in later on though.

Currently my AC is there but not functioning. Unfortunately for black top owners the compressor doesn't bolt up at all unlike the red top. Hope my AC brackets come in soon though.

my dd has a/c (ka)
my coupe has none (sr)
even in socal i rarely ever use the a/c. i live near the beach so it never really gets that hot here.
every time i go out of town or someplace inland i end up using and really appreciating it.

good to know that you have STOCK AIR CONDITIONING on your STOCK motor. thats not what im asking here. we're talking about people with swaps getting their AC system fully functional, either with the standard HVAC controls or the jspec digital climate control.

anyone with a stock car can say "yeah i have AC" ... no one cares about that.

I know its not a SR but I also got A/C with my RB25 S14, Used the RB A/C compressor (which needs to be replaced) Modified Condenser and custom compressor lines, with stock S14 HVAC controls

no, i did not see his bracket.

keep in mind, i do not have ANY ac components left from the days of when i was a lad and ran a KA24E. all of that got discarded with a quickness.

ive been driving my dear friend carlos' s13 around for a bit and the heat sucks... im getting old i guess. the HKS super sequential super annoying BOV makes me look like a fucking idiot because people think i am trying to show off when driving.. when i just want to drive. its kinda a nuisance but... thats his car, not mine.

so now ive been thinking and pondering... while my motor is out and about to go back in... am i going to even attempt to put the gaddamn AC back in. cringe.... it goes against everything i stand for, i fucking hate ac.... but its kinda needed.. the entire car boils, the heat truly eats up the car.

Mike AC on a SR in SoCal is a must if you drive it on any kind of regular basis in the summer and early fall as well as the spring. Ken Flores runs it on his S15 SR in a Kouki S14. Used to also have it on his S13. I built and sold several S13's with it. The old school trick was using the redtop AC bracket with the the KA compressor. I even saw guys install blacktops with the JDM compressor and get lines made.

There was a AC guy next door to Marco's Old shop in Gardena that did it for a lot of Marco's customers. I had it done for my RB car. Not sure if he is still there. First order of the day for you would be to get a compressor because I can bet you tossed the SR one. LOL.

They do what Juan said and get some brackets from CodyAce. Then have the lines done. Its not a bad thing in Socal and lots of guys in the past ran AC. In fact a SR install with AC done is what separates out the good swap shops from the shitty ones. Places that knew how to do you knew were doing the swaps right. Cheap places would not take the time.

P.S. Any AC shop worth a damn can weld up lines for you. If they can't then you should not be going to them in the first place. LOL

when I was bottom mount my SR had AC, Car was is an 89 so the ka24e comp was long gone, got a used ka24de compressor and ran it with 3 bolts plus a washer to keep pully from touching something (dont remember what..) for about a year. Then went top mount and shortly after the AC stopped working, then the motor sort of died... while pulling motor out found that the line off the firewall had been cooked through from top mount set up.. Everything in the area of the exhaust housing was cooked and crunchy.. FAIL...

I will run AC again, its hot and humid like 99.9% of the time in miami, and you really cant do anything without it + nissan AC is nice and cold..

ergh, forgot to mention, I did run the SR compressor for awhile, before the comp clutch went bad, also had issues with the KA comp.. dont waste time with used junk, get a re-manufactured compressor, worth every penny.

I've got a redtop with an a/c compressor, but I've never gotten it hooked up. My old a/c lines were tucked up and to the side, but the heat from the exhaust/turbo still destroyed the old hoses. If I get time to, I want to look into either getting custom hoses made or getting a KA compressor. I really miss a/c.

I'd like to add it to my SR, but previous owner removed everything, lines, condensor, everything. Figure it would be too hard to try and track all that down.

Texas/Louisiana Heat > SoCal Heat. It was 103 yesterday with a 79% humidity Felt like 117. Walk outside, instant sweat.

This is interesting. I'd like to hear more from people with top mount set-ups, and running a/c, because that is what i'm planning to do real soon. It's cool to have an sr, it's much cooler to have a/c. No pun intended.

I had fully functioning A/C on my S15 SR with Full Race top mount. The Full Race top mount is not supposed to be compatible with A/C, however since it was an S15 SR, it uses the smaller R134 compressor... so it easily cleared the manifold with no issues. I ran it that way with both the standard HVAC controller and then later on with the JDM DCC. I'm still debating on whether or not I'll do it on the LS3. Most likely I won't do it right away, but save it for a small winter project. I didn't weld shut the firewall where the lines go through, so that right there proves that I will be adding A/C at some point

s13 NorCal A/C

I have a fully functional A/C in my 1992 240sx Silvia Conversion. Blacktop Sr20 ,Im using a redtop a/c bracket with my Original KA24de compressor and Original A/C piping. Im using a KA24e single cam condensor fan(mounted in front of condensor not behind like twin cam KA24de). Cant use twin cam fan ,as it mounts behind radiator, fan wont fit , it will get in the way tear shit up. IM still using radiator fan with clutch. I have a Megan exhaust bottom mount manifold and Using s15 turbo. I fabricated a heatshield that isolates BMC and I believe high side hose that runs along exhaust. Only down side ,was a bitch to charge on low side acces valve. I basically had to vacuum test for leaks , charge system then assemble custom intake .Low side charge port is smack on the compressor , cant acces it with intake piping for turbo installed .Almost forgot ,Im using stock A/C controls , I had the climate control Unit .Decided not to use it.Wiring for fan was a little tricky , I just used wiring off of A/c fan relay near engine compartment fuse box.Ill post pics tomorrow.

Low side Valve is under hot pipe and intake piping it was hard to get to. I guess i could of charged refrigirant on hot side while it was under vacuum ,but i chose not to. So i charged it on low side , and assembled intake piping.

I am currently waiting for CodyAce to PM me back so I can pay him for my A/C brackets. I left everything attached when I did my swap. Intercooler piping and intake all fit fine around the A/C lines. I have a blacktop S13 in an S14 so none of the bolts line up.

I got my A/C hooked up and working today after receiving my CodyAce brackets friday. As far as the kit, highly recommend it to anyone who wants air conditioning. Easy installation and the brackets were beefy and good quality.

As far as the engine bay being crammed I havent had an issue getting to anything I needed to while working on the car. All my A/C lines have good clearance to manifold, turbo elbow, etc. I run two fans with an Isis radiator and I let the car sit with A/C on and had no temperature issues. If you have a street car I think the benefits are worth the hour it takes to install A/C.
